Reviewer: Kimberly in New York

* These taste amazing! just like a normal choc covered marshmellow! helps with the chocolate sweet cravings! Really good!

* THINK.. Chocolate covered marshmallow easter bunnies.. and this is what you'll get.. TO DIE FOR! Can't believe it's so LOW carb. Had to re-order a dozen bags. YUM.. YUM!! A must try for anyone.. Great frozen.. or just out of bag.. also great melted in low carb hot chocolate.. BRAVO La Nouba.

* My first introduction to marshmallows was as a child during food rationing of World War II. Then, the popular brand of marshmallows available was Campfire. The Campfire box measured about 3"x5" and contained two layers of marshmallows. I have searched for Campfire marshmallows, but never found them.

I recently found another source of marshmallows in the La Nouba brand that reminds me of Campfire. I like marshmallows that are a little dry to touch, like La Nouba. The current supply of marshmallows in grocery stores are soft and sticky and contain high-sugar and high-carbohydrate content. I now have a new source of marshmallows.

* I bought the chocolate covered ones and they are very good! Lightweight and satisfying. My only concern is the sugar alcohols. These have maltitol and maltitol syrup and I tend to believe the critics of sugar alcohols determining net carbs re: there being varying degrees of 'good' and 'bad' sugar alcohols. Maltitol and maltitol syrup are supposedly the worst. Who knows what's true. I don't pretend I do. So if you are doing well with subtracting sugar alcohols, then these are a good choice for enjoyable taste! I'm still buying them, but I choose to subtract only part of the sugar alcohols.

* My family and i love love love these La Nouba marshmallows. I don't like marshmallows but these are awesome. They melt way better than the store bought sugary marshmallows & they make wonderful tasting s'mores. I highly recommend these. Ordering more now.

* This product is one of my "go to" foods when I want sweet. Delicious and satisfying! They fit quite nicely into my Atkins-based diet and weight loss. I order most products in quantities of 1-4 or so. These marshmallows? 20 packets at a time. I portion these as 2-3 servings per bag.

I also find these a great value for the dollar. Whereas many low-carb & sugar-free products taste good, many are too expensive for me to enjoy on a frequent basis. But these marshmallows taste good AND are a good buy at Netrition's price!

* Yummy!!! Texture and flavor are all just like the real thing. I've been eating mostly the regular kind, but I've had the chocolate covered ones too and they too are absolutely amazing though more expensive and fewer to a bag because they're heavier. I hope La Nouba will never stop making them!!!

* These are absolutely incredible! Since being diagnosed with Diabetes, it's been a challenge to find any kind of chocolate candy, never mind chocolate covered marshmallows, quite like these. They are delicious. What a treat.

* I LOVE these marshmallows. I buy the chocolate covered ones and make microwave s'mores using the Belgian waffle cookies. Now that the weather is warming up, I can't wait to try toasting the plain ones over a campfire.

* I have no idea how these are made with 0 carbs, but I don't care because they are yummy! Perfect for a treat on top of low sugar cocoa, or straight out of the bag. I only wish they had the option of a bigger bag!

* I have been buying these for a few years now, they are wonderful, and you would not know they are low carb. If you are new to sugar alcohols DO NOT eat more than three at a time and no more than six a day. I have built up my tolerance to the sugar alcohols and now I can eat a bag without a problem, but it took awhile. Iím diabetic and does not effect my blood sugar at all.

* These marshmallows are sooooo delish. Whether the chocolate covered or regular they are such a delightful treat. They are not as sweet as regular but have great texture and the chocolate covering has crunch. It is hard to keep from eating more than two in one sitting.

* These marshmallows are so good! They taste like regular marshmallows to me. I cut them up and put them in my hot chocolate and I also made S'mores with my homemade "graham crackers" and SF chocolate. Also good just to eat out of the bag!

* not quite like a regular marshmallow when melted (it hardens extremely fast and crunchy, but does get puffy and soft so eat it asap! and don't overcook) and more dense (better, I think) than a regular marshmallow, but with a wonderful authentic flavour and delicious mouth-melt texture of a marshmallow. no odd artificial flavours or aftertaste. yummy when served frozen. great portion size for the calories compared to traditional marshmallows.

* I love these!!! They are firmer than a regular marshmallow, puff up nicely in the microwave to get all gooey and brown nicely in the toaster oven. You do have to eat them immediately after heating because they get hard and crunchy as they cool. They taste just like a regular marshmallow with no aftertaste. Great price too. Regardless of calorie content (which is great), these are better than most marshmallows out there!

* Like everyone, I sometimes need a chocolate fix or quick, sweet treat. These really fit the bill - to me they taste exactly like the chocolate/marshmallows that are not low carb. The carbs in this product are truly negligible. They are a bit pricey, but well worth it.

* These taste EXACTLY like regular marshmallows. I even took them camping and was able to enjoy roasting marshmallows while keeping my carbs low. I purchase multiple bags of these which each netrition order. One snack I don't like to share!

* These marshmallows are amazing for a low carb treat. You can't expect them to taste the exact same as the store bought sugar filled marshmallows, however these are an amazing substitute. They are almost like the real thing, they even puff & melt like real marshmallows. The only difference I noticed was that they don't have a sugary smell and aren't as sweet.

One more thing to watch out for is that it says they are sweetened with maltitol which has a low GI, but still 3 calories per gram compared with 4 calories in sucrose sugar.

Otherwise, definitely recommend these. About 99% the same as a marshmallow.

* These are a great treat. They taste just like regular marshmallows and the dark chocolate coating makes these hard to resist. Only draw back would be if you are sensitive to sugar alcohols. I have to limit myself but I've found that just three will satisfy my craving for sweets and not overdue the sugar alcohol effect.

* These are quite delicious! I've used them as hot chocolate toppers but generally the entire package only lasts about 5 minutes once the bag is opened. They have the consistency of regular marshmallows but the shape is different. The color is different as well, but I think it makes them more appealing. I really like that they are half white and half very light pink. Every time I place an order here I make sure to buy at least one bag.

* The Low Carb Marshmallows were delicious. Couldn't even tell they were low carb. I have tried different kinds in the past and definitely no comparison. The texture and the flavor were just the right mix. If your wanting a little treat and don't want to splurge, I definitely recommend Low Carb Marshmallows by La Nouba.

* Love these! As I am an outdoors lover, I enjoy camping. They are PERFECT for toasting over the campfire! Its amazing how easy it is to lead a low carb lifestyle, with products like these that allow you to enjoy the simple things and maintain your healthy eating habits.

* These are great! Took them camping this weekend and used sugar free hershey's dark chocolate. I didn't have anything to substitute for the graham crackers but still this helped lower the sugar content of my s'mores. Not quite as sweet as a regular s'mores, but the marshmallows roasted perfectly and made a tasty treat.

* Fantastic treat! I eat a couple at a time for a snack. Also make marshmallow treats using fresh nuts.(1 pkg marshmallows, 1 T. butter, melt in microwave. Add 1 t. vanilla and two cups chopped nuts. Press into pan. Can be sprinkled with sweetener if desired.

* I bought both the regular and chocolate covered marshmallows and they are both fabulous! This is a delicious product that will make you forget that you are not eating sugar. I highly recommend these as a low-carb dessert.

* This is an incredible product. In a side-by-side comparison, I don't think I would be able to tell the difference between these and regular marshmallows. I highly recommend them. Here is a warning I learned the hard way: don't eat a whole bag in one sitting no matter what your hormones tell you is a good idea. I had a terrible stomachache all night. In moderation, though, these are delicious.

* What can I say? YUM!
The chocolate covered ones are GREAT!
for the regular marshmallows: I missed having Easter peeps since I went low carb, but had these instead. Plus I also like to let them get a little stale and chewy....

* I love these chocolate covered marshmallows.They are firmer than other sugar free marshmallow products that I have tried and I love the fact that they have no after taste. I would totally recommend these. They are not overly sweet and just enough to take care of that every once in a while sweet craving.

* I had gastric by-pass surgery and thought I would never have marshmallows again. I saw these, while looking for sugar free caramels to make a pecan pie, ordered them and could not believe they were sugar free they tasted just like regular marshmallows... thank you for this site!

* With a child on a VERY restrictive diet, "NORMAL" treats are not an option, so you can well imagine her delight at being able to toast marshmallows with the other kids at camp!!! The marshmallows arrived great with the cold pack, very timely, and they really do taste like a marshmallow is supposed to!!! What a difference such a small treat can make on the face of a little girl...LOL! We are both very pleased with this product, and I am forever grateful. Thank you SOOO MUCH.

* These are so good. The best "treat". I love chocolate marshmallow cookies(before I was sugar-free)and adding a piece of melting sugar free chocolate to the top of one reminds me of those-heaven! If you buy the choc. covered
mallows,you don't need that,but I live in AZ,and the choc. always melts in transit! Sometimes little sugarfree cakes and things can be dry,and I use these for that,too.

* We have been a reduced sugar household for 8 months due to medical issues in one of my children. Needless to say, my 3 children were very concerned over how we were going to manage smores over the campfire this summer. This product solved that and made my life much easier! It works out wonderful and my husband, the critic, says they taste exactly like a regular marshmallow. It melts and has the right consistency - Great product!

* My daughter and I absolutely LOVE these delicious chocolate covered marshmallows! I don't put an order in to Netrition without ordering 4 or 5 bags for the household. We are marshmallow-holics from way back and
these definitely fulfill our cravings for marshmallows. You WON'T be disappointed!

* Love, love, love these. My only problem is that they are expensive for the amount that you get. But what a super treat when you need something to get you through those moments we all experience while facing the challenges of doing a low carb lifestyle. If they could make it a little more cost effective, these would be perfect.

* Oh my goodness, could these be any better? These taste as close to the real thing as you can get! The sweetness and texture are incredible. But if you think they're great cold, you should try popping them in the microwave for a few seconds. They expand and taste heavenly while warm. I had to check the nutritional label again to make sure they were low carb; they are!

* So YUMMY! They are just like marshmallows in the stores, but without all the guilt and sugar! The only thing is that they are a little pricier for less quantity than a regular bag of sugar marshmallows .

* My husband is a Diabetic and he loves these marshmallows. He puts them in his international (chocolate) coffee. They do not make his blood sugar rise. I bought them at a grocery store several years ago and they stopped carrying them, I couldn't believe I found them again. They are also good by themselves as a small sweet treat. I will buy these forever.

* Holy Moley! These are delish! Okay, so they are a little pricey for the size of the bag...but I am telling you, I may pay twice as much for these little goodies. They are really a treat. The chocolate melts in your mouth and the marshmallow is so soft. Are these really low carb? They taste like the biggest cheat! So good! I recommend that you get them delivered in the cooler months to keep the chocolate at it's best. Otherwise, don't delay. There's a reason these are always out of stock. They are wonderful.

* Great product. I was able to roast the marshmallows-something I enjoy. The taste was very nice-no after taste and no carbs. I placed another order for them and hope not to run out. OK--I really liked this product!! I wished there were more to a package--that's my only concern.

* I thought these were chewy and delicious! The taste is a little fruity and very sweet. I'd like to try the chocolate covered ones next time. I kept them in the fridge because it is really hot and I was afraid they would melt.

* These are great! Light and flavorful, just like the full-sugar kind. I'm a little bit leery of sugar alcohols, but if you don't eat the whole bag, you should be fine. Can't wait to try the chocolate-covered kind!

* Love these, just received today. Tried one and then another.... Taste just like regular marshmellows. Glad I bought 3 bags. Yummy!!!!!! I will say one thing that freaked me out was they coloring. Half white half purpleish. But taste great and great for a "sweet" treat!!

* Love these, love these, love these. Even great for roasting !! Be careful; they do melt faster than regular marshmallows. If you over-indulge they will hurt your tummy a little but I am not taking away from my points b/c of the side effects -- they're worth it !!

* So, I received my order and in it I had ordered these chocolate covered marshmallows. Now, first let me say they taste great. You would never know the difference for the taste. My only problem was the small package. Very small package. Think the size of one of those mini popcorn bags before being popped. Or a small bag of vending machine chips. Not big at all for the cost. But great on the flavor, texture, and net carbs. All in all I will buy again, but I wish the packaging was bigger.

* Campfire, anyone?!? I'll bring the mallows! ha ha ha.... A+++++ These marshmallows are FANTASTIC! (both varieties) I am so impressed with them and will be adding them to my regular stock from now on. I'm so sad to see today that they are out of stock until next month though. Boo hoo :( I'll be waiting as patiently as possible for these yummy treats to return! But it'll be hard.

* I am skeptical of low carb or no carb foods claiming to be as good, if not very close, to the "real thing." These marshmallows are indistinguishable from their carb-loaded cousins. Amazing! Perfect texture, taste and they even melt in cocoa. Super job, La Nouba!!!

* AMAZING ! A ZERO CARB sweet !
I've always loved marshmallows, and wouldn't have believed it was possible to make them without carbs. They are soft, fresh and lovely - just as a marshmallow ought to be.
My thanks to La Nouba for inventing this wonderful low carb treat.

* These marshmallows are incredible!!! I used them in hot chocolate and they melted and became sticky and soft just like a real marshmallow. I absolutely was thrilled with this product and just ordered three more bags!

* These are AWESOME! I was a little unsure about getting them but after I tasted one I was mad I only bought one bag. They taste VERY close to true marshmallows in my opinion the only difference is the texture which is a little more stiff than regular marshmallows. I can't wait to get more. Perfect food to satisfy sweet craving.

* When I was a little girl my Mom would put cherry marshmallow twists in the freezer. I did the same with these. They are delicious, and brought back many happy memories of my youth. You have to try these. You won't be disappointed.

* You can not tell the difference between these and the sugar ones. I add these to sugar free hot chocolate. Sure is great on a cold winter night. I have tried regular and chocolate covered. You will not be disappointed with either one.

* These marshmallows are amazing! They taste exactly like the real thing. The only strange things about them is they are large and are half pink. If you want them for your low-carb hot cocoa, you'll need to cut them up much smaller.

* We bought these to bring on our annual trip up North where we always roast marshmallows over the fire. We were able to roast them like regular marshmallows. They didn't quite act the same but did the trick for us and tasted great.

* I love these marshmallows. I do wish that they came in all white, so that when you melt them in recipes they wouldn't have a funky color. This will not keep me from buying them, but would be a welcome improvement.

* I use these to make "rice krispie treats" with pork rinds instead of cereal. They are great for this purpose. They do cause a little stomach discomfort, which is actually good because it makes me keep my portions in check.

* I tried the chocolate covered marshmallows and you really cannot tell the difference! I even gave them to my coworkers who hate sugar free stuff, but even they could not tell. The only reason I gave them 4 stars is because if you are even a slight bit sensitive to the sugar alcohols side effects, don't eat more than 3 at a time.

* These are pretty good. I cut them up and use them in sugar free jell-o and have also made s'mores with them (but they don't microwave real well and don't attempt to roast them over an open fire). Anyway, who else knows of a sugar free marshmallow?! Hoozah!

* Great texture, really poor flavor. These could use some extra vanilla. The lack of flavor makes them seem more rubbery. They toast alright too. If I needed marshmallows I'd buy these again, however I certainly don't crave them.

* The regular marshmallows are super good, but even the tiniest amount of the amazing chocolate-covered ones cause me extreme "intestinal distress." I can have other treats sweetened with malitol (in reasonable amounts) - but there's something about La Nouba products that makes my stomach revolt.

* Yuck. Maybe the chocolate ones are better, but I tried the plain & they taste awful. A little licoricey, and I like licorice but not in my marshmallow. Staight to the bin. It is just not worth it to risk stomach discomfort over a flavor that mediocre. I will continue to get my sugar free marshmallow fix w/sugar free peeps, sadly available only during Easter.
